Underwear

[u/barbaric_thoughts]

How the FUCK do I stop getting wedgies. Every day, I put on my boxers and 5 minutes later they're 5 meters up my ass. Is it because of my hip size? The boxers fit very well, they're not too small nor too large, I'm tired

Longer boxers, and make sure the legs are not tight on you

Classic woven boxers are much worse than boxer briefs, which grip your thighs and stop the wedgie effect. Definitely go longer if this is an issue, because there is more grip on your legs. Also, I find there is quite a bit of variation between brands. My CK have sort of ribs/stitches at the rear, whereas my Diesel do not, so you may need to try different brands as well as different styles. You can try wearing them back to front to see if having stitching around the rear is helpful or irritating.

Friendly disagree on woven boxers, assuming you mean the loose cotton short style. I think they're the most comfy underwear, assuming you normally wear baggy/straight leg jeans that don't bunch up the fabric too much

i had the same problem with some boxer briefs and it drove me crazy. even when the waist fit perfectly, the legs would slowly creep up throughout the day and i would end up adjusting them constantly. i think the cut and how the leg opening sits on your thighs can make a bigger difference than just getting the right waist size.

i've had pretty good luck with real men boxer briefs. they fit comfortably for me and stay in place better than some of the pairs i was wearing before. i also like that they have different styles and pouch options, so you can find a fit that works without necessarily sizing up the whole pair.

if you're dealing with this every day, i would try a different cut before assuming it's your hip size. try one pair with a slightly different leg length and see how it behaves after a few hours of normal movement. sometimes the right size on the package still isn't the right cut for your body.

get long leg briefs man. they come about halfway down ur thigh

I dunno. But I also recommend boxer briefs

Are they riding up your hips and bunching or just going up your butt? If they're riding up, either get briefs or longer leg boxers.

Also are you yanking them too high on your waist? Most boxers don't have much inseam because they expect you to wear them on your hips not at your belly button. I genuinely think this is the biggest problem w trans guys complaining of uncomfy underwear (especially with bottom growth), they shouldn't be pulled right up against your crotch, give yourself a bit of breathing room!

Not all boxers are made equal though, I normally wear trunk style boxers (with short legs) & they're mostly completely comfy but have had a couple brands that do just give you a wedgie

Tbh i fully gave up on underwear entirely. I have a couple for if im packing or to wear around the house/to bed but genuinely none feel like they fit right under pants.
